thinking of buying a 14 435i after a owning a few M cars I'd like to sharpen up the handling, looking at fitting some Bilstein B8 shocks, and lose the EDC or what ever you call the electronic shocks, is it easy to code out and have fixed shocks?

Yes. You can do it two way- hardware via EDC delete modules, or coding. I used Zed coding to do my 340i. Have used him a few times and would highly recommend.

How many miles does your car have?

B8 shocks are typically used with lowering springs. The expense of shocks + springs approaches coilover territory. Worth considering.

B8's with H&R springs is going to be pretty stiff. An alternative to consider that is also designed to drop is Koni Sport Yellows which are adjustable for comfort, along with Eibach Springs. B8's are just set stiff at factory. No adjustments. Eibach springs are about 10% stiffer than stock while H&R's are more teeth rattling at about 30% stiffer.

That’s all right, I’ve had for E92 M3s with pretty stiff suspension in sport edc, along with an e46 m3 with countless suspension setups over the years I owned it, had to step away from M cars at the mo , work dictates, so looking at a 435i
